The Chairshot Staff Picks: WWE SummerSlam 2019
See who the staff picked as we head into The Biggest Party Of The Summer!
SummerSlam is here, let the arguments begin over whether it or the Rumble are the number two PPV in WWE(one of my fav wrestling arguments). Plenty of big names and quality matchups to follow another homerun from the ladies and gentlemen in NXT. I’ll give you a Tunney special here before we get to the prognostications, this will be WWE’s best show of the year. Now, let’s dig out the old Magic8 ball and see if we can read Vincent Kennedy McMahon’s mind…

Goldberg v Dolph Ziggler
- Abe Odeh – Goldberg
- Bradley Jay – Goldberg
- Bobby Fernandes – Goldberg
- Carol Cassada – Goldberg
- Harry Broadhurst – Goldberg
- Mathew Sarpriacone – Goldberg
- Rey Ca$h – Goldberg
- Rob Bonnette – Goldberg
- Scott Mcleod – Goldberg
- Steve Cook – Goldberg
- Steven Mitchell – Goldberg
- Tiffany Carter – Goldberg
- Miranda Morales – Goldberg
- Patrick O’Dowd – Goldberg
- Dave Ungar – Goldberg
- Christopher Platt – Goldberg
- DPP – Goldberg
- Greg DeMarco – Goldberg
Tunney’s Take: Goldberg should be giving back while he still has something left to give. I would book Ziggler to absolutely dismantle Bill, and quickly. This could easily lead to a rematch giving WWE another big name for another PPV as they ramp up for FOX and the beginning of AEW’s weekly TV existence. Dolph Ziggler… why not him? A Ziggler/Lesnar feud could be just what the Dr. ordered. My pick is Dolph Ziggler

Trish Stratus v Charlotte Flair
- Abe Odeh – Charlotte
- Bradley Jay – Charlotte
- Bobby Fernandes – Trish
- Carol Cassada – Trish
- Harry Broadhurst – Trish
- Mathew Sarpriacone – Charlotte
- Rey Ca$h – Charlotte
- Rob Bonnette – Charlotte
- Scott Mcleod – Charlotte
- Steve Cook – Charlotte
- Steven Mitchell – Charlotte
- Tiffany Carter – Charlotte
- Miranda Morales – Trish
- Patrick O’Dowd – Charlotte
- Dave Ungar – Charlotte
- Christopher Platt – Charlotte
- DPP – Charlotte
- Greg DeMarco – Trish
Tunney’s Take: Charlotte. Charlotte! My pick is Charlotte (IT MAKES MORE SENSE.!)

Finn Balor v Bray Wyatt
- Abe Odeh – Wyatt
- Bradley Jay – Wyatt
- Bobby Fernandes – Wyatt
- Carol Cassada – Wyatt

- Steven Mitchell – Wyatt
- Tiffany Carter – Finn
- Miranda Morales – Wyatt
- Patrick O’Dowd – Wyatt
- Dave Ungar – Wyatt
- Christopher Platt – Wyatt
- DPP – Wyatt
- Greg DeMarco – Wyatt
Tunney’s Take: Here at TheChairshot.com we’re really glad that you’rr our friend, and this is a friendship that will never ever end because all you have to do is, LET US IN!! Fire Fly Funhouse to the spectacular new look/mask to the looooooong build (which I’m in favor of). All of the aforementioned to have The Fiend Bray Wyatt lose? Hell No! My pick is Bray Wyatt
The Chairshot: Bray Wyatt 18-1 #UseYourHead

Kevin Owens v Shane McMahon
- Abe Odeh – Owens
- Bradley Jay – Owens
- Bobby Fernandes – Owens
- Carol Cassada – Owens
- Harry Broadhurst – Owens
- Mathew Sarpriacone – Owens
- Rey Ca$h – Owens
- Rob Bonnette – Owens
- Scott Mcleod – Owens
- Steve Cook – Owens
- Steven Mitchell – Owens
- Tiffany Carter – Owens
- Miranda Morales – Owens
- Patrick O’Dowd – Shae
- Dave Ungar – Owens
- Christopher Platt – Shane
- DPP – Owens
- Greg DeMarco – Shane
Tunney’s Take: I see shenanigans galore here. Said shenanigans should lead to Kevin Owens getting screwed over yet again. Shane is one of WWE’s top heals right now and his momentum shouldn’t be stunted whatsoever. KO has enough steam and skill on the mic to absorb a loss here despite the stipulation. I’m looking for Owens to continue his outlaw/renegade streak. My pick is Shane McMahon

- Tiffany Carter – Gulak
- Miranda Morales – Gulak
- Patrick O’Dowd – Gulak
- Dave Ungar – Gulak
- Christopher Platt – Gulak
- DPP – Lorcan
- Greg DeMarco – Gulak
Tunney’s Take: WWE needs to do something with 205Live better than what they are doing now. That’s it… that’s my analysis… that’s my take on this match. My pick is Drew Gulak

- Patrick O’Dowd – Becky
- Dave Ungar – Becky
- Christopher Platt – Becky
- DPP – Becky
- Greg DeMarco – Becky
Tunney’s Take: If this event wasn’t in Canada Trish wouldn’t be wrestling and Nattie wouldn’t have this mach. My pick is Becky Lynch.
The Chairshot: Becky Lynch 17-2 #UseYourHead

Kofi Kingston (c) v Randy Orton
- Abe Odeh – Kofi
- Bradley Jay – Orton
- Bobby Fernandes – Orton
- Carol Cassada – Orton
- Harry Broadhurst – Kofi
- Mathew Sarpriacone – Kofi
- Rey Ca$h – Kofi
- Rob Bonnette – Kofi
- Scott Mcleod – Orton
- Steve Cook – Kofi
- Steven Mitchell – Kofi
- Tiffany Carter – Kofi
- Miranda Morales – Kofi
- Patrick O’Dowd – Kofi
- Dave Ungar – Kofi
- Christopher Platt – Kofi
- DPP – Kofi
- Greg DeMarco – Orton
Tunney’s Take: This is a TOUGH one. Randy provides a viable source to allow WWE to take the belt off Kofi but, I just can’t bring myself to picking the viper here. It was no mystery to me or anyone that ALWAYS uses their head that Kofi was definitely carrying the strap till at least this very show. No trouble, just paradise tonight for the New Day member. My pick is Kofi Kingston
The Chairshot: Kofi Kingston 14-5 #UseYourHead

Brock Lesnar (c) v Seth Rollins
- Abe Odeh – Brock
- Bradley Jay – Brock
- Bobby Fernandes – Brock
- Carol Cassada – Brock
- Harry Broadhurst – Rollins
- Mathew Sarpriacone – Rollins
- Rey Ca$h – Rollins
- Rob Bonnette – Brock
- Scott Mcleod – Brock
- Steve Cook – Rollins
- Steven Mitchell – Rollins
- Tiffany Carter – Rollins
- Miranda Morales – Brock
- Patrick O’Dowd – Brock
- Dave Ungar – Rollins
- Christopher Platt – Rollins
- DPP – Brock
- Greg DeMarco – Brock
Tunney’s Take: Seth Rollins is a very talented individual in every aspect of pro wrestling but, this isn’t about Seth. Another sizable run with the belt for Lesnar could pay huge dividends down the road, and along it, for WWE. More viewers, more consumers, more media attention and at the end IF booked correctly a giant rub for the RIGHT guy. My pick is Brock Lesnar

Chris King: Is Brock Lesnar Truly Retired?
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
At WrestleMania 42, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar took off his boots and gloves following his loss to Oba Femi. Lesnar has done it all inside of his twenty-four-year career in professional wrestling. He’s a ten-time WWE Champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and he’s one who ended The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
While Lesnar was in the ring, he was visibly overwhelmed with emotion and crying while he thanked the fans in his own way. The Beast even threw up an x to signal to Paul Heyman, his longtime friend and advocate, that this was not scripted and was real. There had been rumors that Lesnar and Oba were supposed to have a series of matches before everything went down at Mania.
‘The Career Killer’ Gunther was doing Heyman’s bidding as he faced Seth Rollins for a favor. For a while now since Gunther retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles, the rumor has been Gunther was set to retire Lesnar in his hometown at this year’s SummerSlam event. There’s been no confirmation if Lesnar is truly retired, but on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, we saw Heyman talking with General Manager Nick Aldis. Later that night following Rhodes’ match against the debuting Ricky Saints, Gunther choked out the WWE Champion. Could this be the favor from Heyman?
I know in the world of professional wrestling we live by the mantra of “never say never,” but what if Lesnar is actually retired and this was WWE’s way of shutting down those rumors about Gunther and Lesnar? What if Gunther’s next program is chasing after the WWE title, and where is Randy Orton at in all of these plans? There are so many questions that need to be answered, hopefully soon!

Chris King: Defend The Intercontinental Championship At Backlash!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
This year’s annual Backlash showcase is only a few days away, and while there are many big matches announced, one that definitely should be isn’t on the card. In my opinion, outside of Roman Reigns/Jacob Fatu and Seth Rollins/Bron Breakker, the Intercontinental Championship scene has been stellar over the last month.
Penta has been an excellent champion, especially after his triumphant title defense in a ladder match against JeVon Evans, Rusev, Dragon Lee, and the Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 42. Their ladder match at Mania was one of the best that WWE has produced in a while.
The momentum never stopped, as on the post-Mania episode of Monday Night Raw, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page made his debut and was quickly inserted into the Intercontinental title scene. Page had a fantastic showing against his longtime NXT rival Evans and picked up a big win in his debut match thanks to an assist from Rusev.
All Ego immediately joined forces with ‘The Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev, who was also vying for the Intercontinental Title in his own right. On this week’s episode of Raw, Page and Rusev defeated Evans and Penta. All Ego pinned the champion, making a huge statement and putting him one step closer to getting a title shot. For the past few weeks I’ve been anxiously waiting to see if WWE was going to add this incredible fatal four-way match for the Intercontinental Championship, but it hasn’t happened yet.
As much as the WWE Universe enjoys witnessing great matches on free television, I truly believe all four superstars deserve the chance to showcase their talents on the PLE. While Penta has done a terrific job as the intercontinental champion, it’s time for a fresh face to hold the prestigious title. Page would make a great braggadocious heel that would help elevate the Intercontinental Championship to new heights!
